New Graduate Student Guide

Once the tuition deposit is paid, you need to clear any conditions of your offer of admissions. Once your conditions are cleared, it will be possible to matriculate you into the program– in August for Fall Term, December for Winter Term and April for Spring Term. Once matriculated, you can create your TMU email address and register for classes. Both of these steps can be completed from outside of Canada if needed. Learn more at Getting Started.

If you have sent all the required documents listed on your Offer of Admission, you will receive a communication from the Graduate Admissions Office once they have cleared the conditions of your admission.

At the FEAS Graduate Studies office, we have a group of Grad Ambassadors. (opens in new window)  Please contact the Lead Ambassador, and they will connect you with one of our Grad Ambassadors.

Course based students (MEng, MBSc, MEIE) may change status from full-time to part-time, or part-time to full-time, subject to consultation with and the approval of the Graduate Program Director. A student may not transfer from full-time to part-time when the only remaining graduation requirement is a thesis, major research paper or project. For students who request a change in status from part-time to full-time or from full-time to part-time, the effect on the time for completion will be prorated. PhD, MASc, and MArch programs do not currently offer a part-time option.
